Plan With Me | July 2020 Symbols of Strength Theme
**In an effort to make this my own, I used zentangles inside of symbols which may have inadvertently and unintentionally changed the meaning on the symbol. For future spreads I will be adding zentangles around the symbols from around the world and keeping those black and white and they are in their original form. I did do research and noticed that the idea of zentangle forms are extremely prominent in West African art and I was also trying to pay homage to that idea as well.
Thank you all for joining me for the July Plan With Me as I use zentangles and historical symbols to capture the heart of the Black Lives Matter movement and dive into multiple cultures and try to bring symbols to life for me.
